if you just looked at the picture, you would say it's status quo in washington. the president got re-elected. the republicans maintain the majority in the house, democrats in the senate. however, it's not really as much status quo as the picture would portray because this is a president who believes, and i think rightly so, that he's come back with some more leverage here, that he doesn't have to start negotiating with himself, that he can put something out on the table that he actually believes in and that it's the republicans who are going to have to give because they were the ones by and large who lost and they lost the presidency. so he, you know, i see a president that feels much stronger about going into this. >> we're getting some intriguing sound bites from republicans indicating they understand the president has some more leverage now. >> they're willing to go one step and there's another step he wants to go. i couldn't agree. the election and the facts on the ground are very different than it was with the debt ceiling in 2011. two big things, he won re-

for more we head to washington and congressman charles rangel of new york. good afternoon. >> hi, martin, good to be back with you. >> republican senator susan collins chided mr. mccain for his absence at wednesday's meeting. she said his request for a new committee to investigate benghazi is, and i'm quoting, not necessary. what is your assessment of mr. mccain's attacks on the president? >> i am surprised, and i'm disappointed. i think that senator mccain has earned the respect of this great country in being able to tell through his own personal experiences the enemies of the united states of america. and to a lesser extent the same could be said by senator graham. for them to see that we have been attacked by enemies of the united states, our embassy and therefore the united states is being attacked, and sunsinstead joining in and seeing who the enemy was to find them and to bring them to justice, they have seen fit to jointly want to destroy the political career of an ambassador that was merely repeating the intelligence that was given to her. this is no
